Of it), to put ab end ft the hostilities relative to the aecupatiofi of Monte Video, between Brazil and Buenos Ayres ; and, in conjunc tion with his Allies in Greece, to atop the effusion of Christian blood., We announced long ago the union of the Powers of Eu rope to effect this last measure. As to Portugal, it is evident that Mr. Canning speaking' of the efforts of England to attain the God-like end which the King proposes to himself, that of repress ing acts of hostility, has been assisted by all the Cabinets of En rope; and that it is in consequence of that unanimous agreement, that peace has not been interrupted. It is quite natural that the Opposition, not finding in the Speech from the English Crown anY motive for uneasiness, should seek, in what the King did not say, for something hostile and threatening. We may remark, in conclusion, that there has been no Royal Speech of England, for tan years past, in which the Opposition Journals have not seen PYmPtorna of war; and yet peace has reigned, and still continues to reign.

Extract from the Agent to Lloyd's; dated Buenos Ayres, Sep tember s: " The privateer boat still keeps out, but we do not hear of any captures. The Brazilian squadron still continues to cruize in sight of this city." MONTX VIDEO, SEPT. 11.—The Brazilian squadron has de tained the English schooner Coquito, from Havannah, said to be bound to Buenos Ayres; and the American brig Finis, also from Havannah; and it is expected they will be sent to Rio Janeiro.— The Brothers, Ferguson, from Rio Janeiro to Valparaiso, has put in here fur provisions. She has been as far as 69., but was obliged to put back on account of bad weather. A Brazil Mail has also been received, bringing down accounts from Rio de Janeiro to the 18th of September. The Diario Nun:lame contains the report of the Committee of the Constitution ap pointed to investigate the respective claims of Portugal and Brazil upon each other, consequent, upon the sepa ration of the two Countries. It also contains a list of nine vessels (five of theca English, value 240,0001.) which had been captured by the Brazilian squadron. during two months' blockade of Buenos Ayres, the property in which was valued at. 395,0001. — This sum, independent of the duties accru ing to the Government, is entirely lost to the Merchants of Buenos Ayres. We further understand by letters from Buenos Ayres of the sth, that they were well acquainted w ith t h e difficulties hich Lord PoNsoNflY had experienced at Rio de Janeiro in his attempts to mediate between the Governments, but the spirit of the people was roused, so that no fears were entertained of the result of the Chilian fleet, consisting of eight large vessels of war, safely arriving. Admiral BROWN had proceeded to meet it at Patagonia, they had not however sailed on the . l2th Aug. General O'HicoiNs, in the Prueba frigate, was expected on the coast of Chili to revolutionize that country. The sanction of the Liberator seems to be feared from the information de rived from that quarter. MO ME JAN 5111, 03 ear!. 11. The report of,the Committee of the , Constitution on the doom* mesas promoted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, relative to the Convention of 29th August, 1825, between &nil and Portugal, gives the following statement of the respective claims of the two countries to indemnity from each other. The claims made by Portugal on—First, seven ships of the line, nine frigates, twelve corvettes, sixteen brigs, eight schooners, &c. in all sixty-one ships of war, with their artillery, all which remained to Brazil, 3,334,000,000.-2 d. Portion of the Infanta* who weld to Spain in 1816, 800,000,000.-3 d. Debt contracted with the bank of Lis bon, 2,826,000,000.-4th. Old consolidated debt, 9,399,000,000. —sth. Old floating debt, 16,400,000,000.-6th. Indemnity to the donations of several provinces of Brazil, who receive pensions for life from the Portuguese Government, 220,000,000.-7th. Indemnity to the proprietors of offices, who on account of their employments accompanied his most faithful Majesty, 200,000,000. Bth. Indemnity of his Majesty's private property, 1,000,000,000, —Total, 34,179,000,000. _ . Rejecting the first claim on account of the bad state of the ships, the imperfection of the estimate and error in the sum ; the 2d for want of proof of the portion stipulated with Spain ; and the 3d as being a debt contracted since the separation of the na tions, the indisputable claims of Portugal. Under the other heads are 36i millions, viz. :--half the debt contracted while the nations were united 12,899,000,000, and claims 6,7, and 8, as above stated, making together 14,319,000,000. Brazil had 16} mil lions to claim, being the half of the 30i millions of debt composing the article of indemnity between the Governments. There is a balance of 201 millions in favour of Portugal, and as the Brazilian negociators only stipulated the payment of 18 millions, being the •alue of 2 millions sterling, the Committee is of opinion that the national honour and interest have been perfectly attended to in the convention of the 29th of August, 1825. SEPT. 16.—The Diaria contains a list of ships taken for at tempting to break through the blockade of the Rio de la Plata, after it was officially known to them. Value.

It i s A ffirmed that all the fin great received yesterdsh trien—tna European i-owers---rtualia, Prussia , Austria, Fran ce ' and England ' --have united in one firm representation to the Turkish Govern ment on the necessity of putti ng a atop to the horrible war f are car' , tied on in Greeee, with no prospect on either aide of its coming to a termination; that its co n ti nuance can no longer be suffered b y t h e European Powere, and they call therefore on the Turkish Govern ment to take immediate measures for putting a stop.to it. They, have no desire to interfere in a direct manner, unless 'compelled to it by a refusal on . the p ar t . o f t h e Divan to accede to their reeom-i meudation ; hut should that be the case s the ships of war of these Powers which have naval stations off the coast of Greece, wine instructed to prevent the landing of any, new armaments in the Mores, and to seize all vessels bearing stores for the supply of the hostile troops already in that country. The Pscha of Egypt will not be permitted to send any more expeditions against the Mores. These are said to be the terms, in substance, dictated to tie Porte, which are to be considered definitive, and which were conveyed in the despatches to Mr. Stratford Canning, at Constan tinople, sent off by a messenger which left town on Tuesday last. Thus pressed, there is little likelihood that any resistance will be opposed by the Turkish Government, which, it is further said, is so heartily tired of the contest as to need only some decent pre text for putting an end to it.—rimes. It is thought a sign of no great strength at the Treasury, that the payment of the lottery prizes has been fixed fur a longer period than usnal after the drawing, viz. three instead of two months,' by which postponement the payment, it should be observed, will be carried into another financial quarter. The alteration was the less justifiable, as the drawing of the lottery itself was put off from the 18th of July to the 18th of October, leaving the funds raised by the sale of tickets three months longer than usual, at the disposal of the Treasury.— Times. The Courier, in its leading article of yesterday, stated, " That we remember to have heard a nxcicasen etvator boast of his having stood in the pillory in Ireland, fora seditious libel, as the proudest day of his life." We would merely ask where the Edi tor of the Courier met this dead hero ? Letters from St. Domingo of the 3d October have been received. An arrete of the President (an order) was promulgated on the 30th ult., commanding Treasury notes for one, two, and five dol lars to be received in payment ; none have yet been put into cir culation, and neither Haytians or foreigners seem to like them ; the amount preparing is said to he 500,000 dollars •, and his Ex cellency's reason for issuing them is, that no Spanish money comes into the Island from Europe, and whet Haytian coin was in cir culation in the old Republic is found insufficient since the annexa tion of the East and North. Mr. Fisher, oue of the Vice-Consuls, goes to England in a few days with despatches from the Consul- General. RIGA, Nov. 18.—The whole of the cargo of stores of the Ge neral Elliot, Boardtvan, bound to London, which was stranded in this Bay nu the 14th ult., have been saved, but the vessel re mains a wreck. PARIS, Nov. 25.—The late gale was severely felt in the neigh bourhood of Mortlaix. The Adele, Paniere, and the Friends, Beer, were thrown upon a bank at the entrance of the harbour, and damaged their keels ; and the Mary, WDowal, was brought into harbour in a sinking state. The Dauphin 1e Grand, from Ararseilles to Rouen, was driven on shore near Bowile on the 19th instant, but is expected to be got off. A vessel, supposed to be either English or Prussian, was wrecked on the 7th instant, near Vilea St. Giron, Arrondisse ment de Dux. The cargo consisted of deals and iron. THE FUNDS.

The following joke is related by Lord Bacon A notorious rogue being brought to the bar, a n d k now i n g his case tc be desperate. instead of pleading, he took to himself the liberty of jesting, and thus said, "I charge you in the King's name, to seise and t a k e awa y that man (meanin g t h e J u d ge ) in theredgown, for I go i n dangeT of my life b scausa of Wm.' LAW INTELLICOSNCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Wasyssmsrvit—(Tuss Mr.) His LORDSHIP wished to mention one thing before Counsel proceeded. He had been supposed to have said yesterday, that if an affidavit had been made before a person not having the authority to administer it, and if that affidavit was not true, the party could not be punished for it. Now, his Lordship wished it to be dis-, tinctly under s t oo d, t h at if an af fi dav i t was made before a per soa having a want of authority, and that affidavit was false, according to law, it may be considered a great offence, and the party snaking it may be most severely punished. Because, when his Lordship was Attorney-General, and the pillory was in use, the Lord Chancellor of that day directed him to prosecute person for such an offence, and it ended in that person being put in the pillory. IRAVELL V. MEASLY CANAL COMPANY. Mr. SPENCE was heard this morning in this case, on the same side as Mr. Shadwell. Mr. Iloarix was replying when we left the Court: VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COIIRT—(Tuts Day.) STEVENSON AND OTIIFES V. LIARDON. Mr. Moon stated that the plaintiffs in this cue were the cre ditors of a person named Liardon, who had been for many years in the service of a noble family, residing in this kingdom. Liar don died a short time back, leaving the present defendant, Mare Louis Liardon, his residuary legatee. The defendant adminis tered to the testator's estate, and had applied to the Bank to be allowed to sell out stock which stood on the books to the credit of the testator. The amount of the stool( was 850/. in the new 4 , per cents., and 532/. in the three per cent. consols. The plain tiffs stated that the defendant, who was a Swiss, had hitherto eluded all their efforts to find out his residence, and that they verily believed he intended to quit the country as noon as he re ceived the amount of the stock, without paying the creditors of the testator. For these reasons they prayed that the Court might grant :an injunction to restrain the defendant from transferring the stock in question. His Hotioun granted the injunction. COURT OF KING'S RENCII,--(THIs DAY). TOIL KING V. eI,LLANAN. The defendant in this case was brought up again to-day, to re ceive judgment on a conviction of perjury. In consequence of affidavits which he put in, he has been remanded to Newgate until the second day of next Term. IMPORTANT TO BROKERS. GARTWER V. AFLEDO. This was an action brought to recover from the defendant a quantity of gum which the plaintiff had purchased of him through the intervention of a broker, the defendant having refused to abide by the contract, it was tried at Guildhall and a verdict given for the plaintiff subject to the opinion of the Court as to the validity ofthe contract. It was argued by Counsel in the beginning of this term. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in delivering the judgment of the Court this day, observed, that in this case the broker was fully autho rised to sell the gum, and the only objection made to the saki was the want of his signature to the entry, which he made of it fp hit hook. It appeared that after the sale had been made he rote notes to both parties, specifying the terms, &c. It was clear thit if he had signed his name in the book, it would be suffieient, along with such notes, to render the contract valid, there being many decisions to that effect. But the question before the Court was entirely new; there was no decision of a contract being held valid where the signature of the broker was not annexed to the entry of the sale in the book ; notwithstanding the absence of such decisions, it would be going too far to say that such a signature was essential to the validity of a sale, for that would be making the contract to depend on the act of a third person, who by neg. ligenee or design might defraud either party. The Court were, therefore, of opinion; that the sale was valid, and that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS--(Ttus Dar.) BROWN V. rAIRMAN, raoritstroa, OF TIM PALLADIUM. Colonel Fairman appeared in court to-day, and presented an affidavit, in which he depased, that he had supplied his Attorney, Mr. Wragg, with funds to conduct his suits; that he, had been completely deceived by him, and that but for his misplaced ennfi, deuce in him, judgment should not he allowed to pass against him (Col. F.); that there was no ground whatever for the present action, he having never received any value whatever for the bill on which it was founded. He therefore, prayed the Court to open the proceedings, and allow him to he heard. Tlrs Cum JUSTICE expressed his regret that the Court could not relieve him, because it was a rule with them not to grant the prayer-of any petition cio the last. flay of Term, as the opposite party could have no opportunity of anasvering is.

REED AND HARRIS. This was a suit promoted voluntarily by one Evan Griffiths, in the Consistorial Court of Llandaff, against John Reed, Esq. of the parish of Wick, county of Clamorganahire, and Alice, other wise Alse Harry, otherwise Harris, spinster, his niece, for ihcrist.• Upon the production of the articles in the Court below, the Presiding Judge refused to admit certain articles, whiCh were considered material in the suit, and, in consequence, the promotant appealed to the Court of Arches. Dr. Luauiturrosi, for the appellant, appeared to move the ad mission of the article& now produced. Dr. JENNER objected to the admission of the articles, which, he contended, contained a 7nivunner. One of the parties was designated Alice, or Also Harry, otherwise Harris. The parents of Alice Harris were known by the name of Harris, and by that name alone ; and there was no reason why the name of Harry should have been introduced. In law a misnomer was always considered fatal. In 10th East, page SS, a case was reported, named the King v. Shakespear ; and, because the defendant was called Shakepeare, and not Shakespeare, the objection was consi dered fatal. In this case the informality was much stronger, for a new name was introduced. Upon this ground he submitted that the articles should be rejected, and the parties dismissed. ' Dr. SALISBUZY followed on the same side, arguing that in' a charge of such a serious nature, and attended with such penal consequences, the parties should have the benefit of any objection. Dr. LUSHINGTON replied. The objection made was strictly technical, and did not at all effect the merits of the case. In that part of the country in which the parties lived it was usual to call the family indiscriminately Harry or Harris, whichever was the proper name it appeared on the articles, and no inconvenience could arise to the parties from the introduction of the two names. The Couar was of opinion that no injury could arise from the introduction of the second name. It was notorious that many fis milks in Wales had second surnames. Almost every family added to the name. David became Davis, and Griffith Griffiths, hy the progress of modern refinement. Under all the circumstances, the Court conceived that it was ,•a great scandal to the neighbourhood, if two persons lived together in the manner described. It was the duty of the Court, it such a connection subsisted to put it down, and the Court therefore pro nounced for the admission of the articles. LADY AMIENS V. LORD AMIENS. Dr. LUSIIINGTON stated that in this case he had to move the Court to set down the cause for hearing during the present torn, under the following circumstances. The suit was brought by Lady Amiens for a divorce, by reason of adultery. The mar. riage took place at Gretna Green, and the orties cohabited cot many years afterwards, and had several children. The marriage, howe►er, was denied, and proof was now offered of it. Lady Amiens was at present dangerously ill, and if she died before the j u d gment of the Court Was given, her children would not be timate. The eldest of those children was the heir to the title and estates of Lord Aldbormigli ; the motives, therefore, in pressing on the case must be evident to the Court. Ntenni.x. inquired whether there was any appear. ante for Lord Amiens. Dr. 11174inort said, his Lordship had originally appeared, and made some opposition, but that he was now. abroad, soil did not appear to be disposed to take any part in the proceedings, Sir JOIIN NICIIOI,I, inquired whether the case was one of great length ? Dr. LUSUINGTON replied, that it was A very short ease. Lord Amiens eloped with Mrs. Newcomb, with whom he lived f or considerable time in the Court of King's Bench. Sir J. NICHOLL—CouId not the case be set down for the extra sittings after term. -Dr. LustitttGrott —1 ern informed, my Lord, that Lord Amiens' Proctor has no authority to consent to any arrangement. We understand the Court finally agreed to order that the case should he set down for hearing on the net Court day. WYST.I4EAMT V. WESTXMATII. This was a snit originally instituted by the Marquis of Welt" truth for a restitution of conj uga l r i ghts. To meet his tord 4ilA ' suit, the Marchioness institut e d a. suit for a di vorce b y res**o of t ir la j r i s td o g f m l e l n ll t ie d h ur a i r o e g airelaY before the public cruelty and adultery, c r a y oe , t e l w ie n p e a o r i t t particulars C. the ree 2;:i n : in the Consistory Court, and t h e presiding Judge (Sir eon) pronounced against the d►vorce, and substantially in favour of the Marquis of Weatineath's prayer, that his Lady should be compelled to return to his wiety. From this decision the Mar chioness now appealed, and the case conies on for the judgment of Sir John Nichol!. Dr. JICNNIA, who appeared for the appellant, opened the pleadings, the reading of which occupied the Court until its ad journment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER--(ints DAT.) (Before Baron GRAHAM, Baron oAnnow, and Baron HULLocK.) TRY WINO V. smaLre. This was an arrest ofjudgment, a rule having been obtained to *haw cause why the verdict should not be set aside. Against that rule Mr. MTORNET GauaßAr, attended to StolVW CAM this morning. He stated that the defendant had received, be.. tween the Ist of June, ISU, and the 19th of FebruarY, 1925, several parcels of raw silk by the Radii"; in the port of London, without paying the duties ordered by the statute. The Learns& Counsel remarked that he understood the ground on which the; rule had been obtained was, that the defendant had not actually imported them by his own person but had received them from others. It was the same thing in fact, whether the man brought the goods into this country himself, or received them circuitously from a link of twenty persons, he was equally an importer in both cases. Mr. Baron Clas.nast differed front this view, and was joined by Mr. Baron GARROW in the opinion, that there Were a great: many exceptions to that view of the Act; one occurred a short: time since, when an Ambassador had goods secreted among hie luggage by other persons. The ArranNiT-Gertegar. resumed. Ile contended, if he proved that a man employed another person to bring goods, And received them himself in this country, the latter must be an lin porter. In criminal law it was well known, that whether a man knocked out another's brains with a hammer, or employed a thivd person to do it, he was equally a murderer with the actual per petrator of the crime, and was always included in the indictment. Mr. CLARET/ cornet*, that the words of the statute, " to , import, or cause to be imported," were synonymous, or the fact of causing to be imported would be nti offence. If the latter was the case, it was high time that those Words were rejected. Mr. Baron II u LLOCK enquired whether ifan indictment was made out that a man " beat, or caused to be beaten, another man," it would in law invariably implicate the man who caused the other to he beaten. Mr. CLanne replied, not as a man might cause another to be beaten without being present. Baron Htm.r.ocw, observed, so Might a man cause to be imported without being present. Mr. PLATT, for the defendant, ably contended that the intention of the statute was to inflict the penalty of 100/. on but one per. son, and that person the manual importer. That the information was substantially bad, and the officers of the Crown, who had all the principal learning, ought not to receive more of the bar indulgence in their proceedings than other pleaders. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, and The COURT declared that they should take time to consider their judgment. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COI/RT.-4n 15 DAY.) Before Commissioners HAnats and Bowxx. Thomas Atherton was brought up to be heard on his petition. It appeared by his schedule that he was last a resident of Man chester, where most of his creditors are now living. He bad. however, come to Landon, and was there arrested for a debt of 20/., due to a Mr. linape, who was likewise a resident of Man chester. Mr. Commissioner Bowen cross-examined him as to his motive in coming up to London to be arrested, but could get n►► satisfactory answer. At length the insolvent, after standing a very severe fire, confessed that it was concerted that he was to be arrested in London by himself and his creditor, at the office of a Mr. Knapp, in order that he might be at a greater distance from his creditors. The lion. Coromisrioner expressed his satisfaction at the man's candour, but. of couree dismissed his petition. The insolvent's attorney .stated to the Court.that he (insolvent) had told him that he came to London in order to take the benefit of the Act in a shorter time than by waiting for the circuit at Manchester. The Commissioners, however, suspected that it was not a bowl fide debt with Mr. Snape, and intimated that by getting an affidavit of what took place at Mr. Ic.napp's ►f"ice, the petition might be re examined on Monday next. James Henry Har knife was struck out of the list, he not being in Court to be heard on his petition. Henry Mayo Was declared to be discharged from the Marshal sea, his name was in consequence erased froM the cause paper. Several other insolvents were declared entitled to their discharge.
